1	Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (1975) more music like this by Ma Rainey Appointed "Mother of the Blues" during her '20s heyday, singer Ma Rainey was one of the best of the many classic female blues singers of the period. An inspiration to the "Empress of the Blues," Bessie Smith, Rainey was a Georgia native who was discovered in Chicago during the early '20s. While not the possessor of a voice as powerful as Smith's, ... see all copies from $16.58! new only from $17.86!
2	The Very Best of Mungo Jerry [Sanctuary] (2002) more music like this by Mungo Jerry This fine collection of Mungo Jerry's better-known tracks, including the band's big hit, "In the Summertime," is presented in DVD audio. Probably not a solid buy for a newcomer to the band, but fans will probably be interested in the improved sound. Chris True, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.15! new only from $11.15!
3	Memphis Jug Band with Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers (2005) more music like this by Memphis Jug Band Memphis Jug Band with Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers is a wonderful four-disc set which amounts to a street corner jug band party in a box, containing nearly every side recorded in the '20s and '30s by America's two best-ever jug bands, Will Shade's Memphis Jug Band and Gus Cannon & His Jug Stompers, including one-off sides by Memphis Jug Band members ... see all copies from $26.81! new only from $26.81!
4	Garden of Joy/Jim Kweskin's America (2005) more music like this by Jim Kweskin/Geoff & Maria Muldar This two-disc set from Collectables gathers a pair of out of print LPs by folk musician Jim Kweskin: Garden of Joy and America, both originally issued on Warner Bros./Reprise in 1967 and 1971, respectively. Highlights among the 22 tracks include the vocals of Maria Muldaur (on the 1967 session only) and the ten cover versions of jug band, ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
5	Ma Rainey [Milestone] (1992) more music like this by Ma Rainey Nobody could belt it out like Ma Rainey, and here's a great collection that showcases it. All of the lady's biggest hits ("See See Rider," "Jealous Hearted Blues," "Black Cat, Hoot Owl Blues," "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom") are here, and the sound is as good as one can expect from the old Paramount 78s, probably the worst-pressed discs of the 1920s. ... see all copies from $10.49! new only from $17.01!
6	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by Jim Kweskin The Jim Kweskin installment of the Vanguard Visionaries series features most of the fun-loving folksinger's most well-known singles, including "Jug Band Music" and "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me," but at ten songs with no liner notes it pales in comparison to 1990's 24-track Greatest Hits collection. James Christopher Monger, All Music ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $9.87!
7	Don't Fish in My Sea (2004) more music like this by Ma Rainey By no means a definitive compilation, Don't Fish in My Sea is nonetheless a fine one, offerings songs from all six of Ma Rainey's years as a recording artist -- 1923-1928 (she had been a performer for a decade before she ever recorded and continued performing six years after putting her last side on cylinder). All of these sides were recorded for ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
8	The Man with the Mandolin (1997) more music like this by Dave Apollon This two-CD collection, compiled and produced by the king of "Dawg Music" (a kind of swinging bluegrass jazz), David Grisman, is filled with overlooked treasures by a mandolin genius. Apollan was a bit of a novelty act in his early years, and much of the first disc is a bit bogged down with some of the promotional and film work that showcased him ... see all copies from $18.43! new only from $18.43!
9	Needy Time (2007) more music like this by Dr. David Evans see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
10	Mother of the Blues (1965) more music like this by Ma Rainey see all copies from $20.66! new only from $20.66!
11 view cover	Gonna Bop 'Til I Drop (2006) more music like this by Ray Dorset see all copies from $20.29! new only from $20.29!
12 view cover	The Best of the Memphis Jug Band (2001) more music like this by Memphis Jug Band The liner notes implicitly state that no other jug band surpassed the Memphis Jug Band in breadth and scope. They played all styles -- blues, rags, and pop -- and performed them better than their competitors. Since few listeners or reviewers are experts on jug bands, there is little use in arguing the point. All one need do is place The Best of ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
13 view cover	All Roads Lead to Land (2004) more music like this by Clive Palmer One thing about Clive Palmer -- he never fails to satisfy and surprise. A founding member of the Incredible String Band, and steeped in the ways of his native Scottish music, as well as that of his adopted home, France, he's always taken his music in strange directions. On this disc, for example, he ranges from playing Breton pipes on "Breigh," ... see all copies from $14.31! new only from $16.35!
14 view cover	Match Box Blues (2002) more music like this by Dr. David Evans A scholar, field researcher, and director of the ethnomusicology program at the University of Memphis since 1978, David Evans isn't your typical blues man. But don't worry, he doesn't let his academic pedigree prevent him from having a whole lot of fun with this ragtag set of folk-blues pieces, and the result is a delightful and lively reimagining ... see all copies from $16.02! new only from $16.17!
15 view cover	Before the Blues, Vol. 3: The Early American Black Music Scene (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This final volume in an indispensable series collects work by better-known artists like Memphis Minnie and Mississippi John Hurt as well as more obscure geniuses like Henry Thomas and Texas Alexander. What stands out is the amazingly consistent level of quality of the recordings. While some preservation efforts such as this might fill spaces with ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
16 view cover	Harmonica Masters (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Continuing the label's exploration deep into the early vernacular music of the United States, Yazoo Records devotes this compilation to some of the finest harmonica players of the 1920s and 1930s. Harmonica Masters features performances by harp greats like DeFord Bailey, Noah Lewis, Jed Davenport, Jaybird Coleman, and 19 others. The smallest and ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
17 view cover	Ruckus Juice & Chitlins, Vol. 1: The Great Jug Bands (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The first volume in Shanachie's two-volume series on traditional jug-band music of the 1920s and '30s contains many classic performances, as well as several previously unreleased cuts. John Bush, All Music Guide see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
18 view cover	Back to the '70s, Vol. 3 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.50!
19 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 12: Memphis Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Memphis Blues documents the rough and tumble growth of a genre called the blues on a street called Beale in the late '20s and into the early '50s. There are selections from two of the best early jug bands -- the Memphis Jug Band and Cannon's Jug Stompers -- along with cuts from familiar figures like Memphis Minnie and Fury Lewis. Following ... see all copies from $34.26!
20 view cover	Paramounts Chronologically, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey see all copies from $20.00! new only from $21.15!
21 view cover	As Good As It Gets: Country Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists For the most part, the Disky label's As Good As It Gets series lives up to its title, dividing early influential musical genres (gospel, cajun, hillbilly, jazz, etc.) into budget-priced two-disc samplers. As Good As It Gets: Country Blues includes 52 original classic performances from the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Memphis ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $20.59!
22 view cover	Frog Hop (1998) more music like this by Clifford Hayes see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.41!
23 view cover	The Cornshucker's Frolic, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This second volume of festive roots music focuses more on blues and jug band music, with tracks by Steve & His Hot Shots, Blind Lemon Jefferson and the Massey Family. As with volume 1, it's a fine collection that will appeal mostly to fans of vintage blues and country recordings. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $16.21!
24 view cover	The Roots of the Grateful Dead (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The Grateful Dead drew deep from the well of American music to create their unique blend of folk rock. A menagerie of styles, blues, bluegrass, old-time country, and jug band music, formed a solid base for over thirty years of musical exploration. It will perhaps strike some people as odd, but many of the Grateful Dead's influences would be ... see all copies from $16.58! new only from $16.58!
25 view cover	Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo, Vol. 2: Chicago (1926) more music like this by Various Artists All of the CDs in the BBC Robert Parker series (which has been made available at times through different sources) contain remastered and sonically improved recordings from the early days of jazz. Unfortunately the 20 selections on this set are rather randomly programmed and, although this set has a few rare items (such as Richard M. Jones's ... see all copies from $18.57!
